PRBPACE. 

The  need  of  a  reliable  pooket  manual,  as  a  book  of  ref- 
ewnoe,  for  the  oinvenienoe  of  thow  whow  buainem  it 
closely  oonneoted  with  the  navigation  of  Lake  Ontario, 
hM  long  been  felt.  Maps  and  charts  are  easy  to  be  ob- 
tamed,  but  we  are  not  aware  that  there  ie  in  existence  a 
single  work  upon  the  subject,  of  sufficient  dimension  to 
be  carried  upon  the  perwrn.  The  object  of  this  little  work, 
is  to  supply  this  long  felt  need.  Should  the  mariner  be  in 
doubt  as  to  a  partiouhu-  point  on  the  lake,  he  need  not  go 
through  a  labyrinth  of  documenta  to  establish  the  oonect- 
ness  of  the  matter  in  question,  but  has  only  to  take  hU 
bearing  from  the  "  Pooket  Compass,"  and  in  an  instant  the 
point  is  settled. 

The  aim  of  ijbe  author  has  been  to  furnish  lUI  the  neces- 
sary general  inibrmation,  pertaining  to  the  narigation  of 
Lake  Ontario,  which  U  absolutely  required,  in  the  smaUest 
poasible  space.  The  labor  of  producing  such  a  work  can 
waroely  be  estimated,  nor  has  the  present  edition  proved 
any  exception  to  the  general  rule.  Patience  and  persever- 
ing effort,  howevT,  has  resulted  in  the  production  of  the 
work,  and  the  flattering  leeeptign  given  to  the  project 
even  while  in  ite  infancy,  leads  us  to  look  for  a  mmtinua- 
tion  of  the  same,  now  that  it  is  complete.  At  nn  early  day 
it  is  the  intention  of  the  »uthor  to  reproduoe  the  same 
with  additioiukl  fe.tture«,  such  iw  plans  of  the  various  bar-

08wego,  the  most  impurtiiut  cuminerciiil 
harbor  upon  Lake  Oatiiiio,  ihu  city  of  about 
25,000  inhabitants,  situated  at  the  mouth  ot 
the  Oswego  Kwvr,  the  stream  dividing  the 
city  in  two  nearly  eijual  j)art8.  The  rivtu- 
is  bordered  on  each  side  by  a  ridge,  which 
rises  in  gradual  slopos  to  a  height  of  about 
100  feet,  and  ends  in  bluffs  upon  the  lake 
shore,  from  40  to  60  feet  bijjjh.  The  moulli 
of  the  river  admits  vessels  of  iis  large  a  class 
as  can  pass  through  the  Welland  Canul, 
and  the  extension  of  the  West  pier  to  a  dis- 
tance of  550  ft,  in  the  lake,  with  the  raising 
of  the  Lighthouse  by  the  United  States 
Government,  renders  the  harbor  one  of 
the  safest  on  the  lake,  combining  both 
Canal  and    Railway    transportation    with 


the  advaatages  of  position  as  the  near- 
est lake  port  to  tide-water.  A  Hydraulic 
Canal — extending  both  sides  of  the  river — ^is 
studded  with  Mills,  Elevating  Warehouses, 
and  other  manufacturing  establishments. 
The  commerce  of  Oswego  is  very  extensive, 
and  is  increasing  rapidly.  Situated  near  the 
foot  of  the  lakes,  and  nearer  New  York  than 
any  other  lake  port,  it  has  commercial  facili- 
ties superior  to  most  Western  cities.  A 
large  proportion  of  the  produce  of  the  West 
flows  through  this  port  to  the  seaboard 
markets,  and  it  is  the  principal  entry  port  of 
the  agricultural  products  of  Canada  West. 
The  salt  manufactured  at  Syracuse  and 
Salina  is  mostly  distributetl  through  the 
great  West  from  this  Port ;  and  vast  quan- 
tities of  manufactured  goode  from  the  East 
are  also  sent  through  this  channel.  The 
Lumber  trade  of  the  city  is  likewise  immense. 
The  city  has  the  advantage  of  being  the 
terminus  of  three  railroad  lines,  and  on  the 
completion  of  the  Portland,  Oswego  and 
Chicago  road — the  building  of  which  is  a 


foregone  concluBion — will  poggesii  still  greater 
commercial  advantageo  in  a  direct  communi- 
cation with  the  Atlantic  coast.  The  New 
York  &  Oswego  Midland  Railroad,  as  well 
as  the  Delaware,  Lackawanm^.  &  Western, 
communicate  directly  with  Now  York,while 
the  Oswego  &  Rome  road  connects  with 
the  New  York  Central  at  Rome.  It  is 
the  intention  of  the  Midland  Railroad  Com- 
pany to  build  an  artificial  harlwr,  by  which 
merchandise  can  be  loaded  direct  fr<»m  the 
vessels  into  cars,  and  transported  to  its  des- 
tination without  transhipment.  This  Com- 
pany is  erecting,  in  the  East  Cove,  docking 
and  trestle  work  for  the  conveniencts  of  veH- 
sels  loading  with  coal  at  this  point.  Oswego 
has  become  so  largely  identified  with  the 
coal  trade,  through  the  medium  of  her  rail- 
roads, extending  directly  to  the  coal  fields, 
that  this  is  deemed  a  positive  necessity  by 
the  Company.  The  length  of  dock  is  466 
feet,  and  will  be  arranged  with  11  pockets 
at  present,  each  pocket  holding  100  tons  of 
coal,  the  number  to  be  enlarged  in  the  future 


1 


to  36.  The  treptle  work  will  lie  700  feet 
long.  Three  vessela  can  load  at  the  same 
time  ;  depth  of  water  l)eiug  14  feet  at  low 
water.  The  railroad  track  Avill  be  conistruct- 
(hI  40  feet  above  the  water. 

^     Additional  facilities  for  th«'  transport- 
ation  of  coal   an*   offered  In'  the  Dela- 
ware, [jiieka  wanna  &  Western  Hailroad 
Co.,    whicii   has   recently  «'xtended   its 
tracks  U;  the  docks  and  erected  thereon 
a  tn?stle  of  sufficient  dimensions  to  ac- 
commodate an  immense  traffic.      This 
line  bein^  in  direct  con:mnnication  with 
the    mining   n^jrions,     ind    being    very

and  the  stimulus  of  the  lines  of  internal  im- 
provement, both  the  commerce  and  manu- 
factures of  tlie  City  of  Oswego  have  increased 
in  an  almost  unprecedented  manner,  and 
there  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  this  in- 
crease will  be  continued  for  many  years  ti>

HWnal  Imitation. 

At  Oswego  is  situated  a  governiient 
signal  station,  where  daily  meteorologi- 
cal observations  ai-e  taken  of  the  force 
and  direction  of  the  wind,  &c.,  &c.  This 
system,  but  lately  inaugurated  by  the 
Government  of  the  United  States,  is  des- 
tined to  be  of  valuable  service  to  mari- 
ners. Observers  are  placed  at  the  prin- 
cipal cities  of  the  Union,  especially  upon 
the  Northern  lakes,  whose  duty  it  is  to 
report  several  times  daily,  the  state  of 
the  weather  in  their  particular  localit.y. 
Notice  of  foul  weather  is  immediately 
telegraphed  to  the  various  stations,  the 
direction  and  velocity  of  the  wind  being 
given,     from     which    predictions    are 


'^WS'" 


W 

readily  made  concerning  the  probable 
Btate  of  the  elements  for  a  considerable 
time.  The  system  has  long  been  used 
with  great  success  in  Europe,  and  will 
soon  make  equal  progress  in  this 
country. 

Os<v»eKo  XIiftr1>or. 

A  very  strong  current  runs  out  of  this 
port  in  the  spring  and  fall,  which  renders  it 
difficult  for  vessels  to  work  inagtiost  a  head 
wind.  To  obviate  this,  Oswego  possesses  a 
large  fleet  of  powerful  tug-boats  that  go 
outside  in  almost  any  weather  and  tow  ves- 
sels safely  into  port. 

The  following  is  the  depth  of  water  in  the 
Coves  and  at  the  different  docks.  Sound- 
ings were  taken  March  11,  1871,  when  the

Many  changes  have  been  made  to  the 
docks  and  piers  in  this  harbor  during  the 
past  two  seasons.  The  West  pier  has  been 
extended  550  feet  into  the  lake,  in  a  north- 
erly direction,  which  breaks  the  heavy  North- 
west seas,  and  makes  it  less  dangerous  to 
vessels  entering  this  port  when  coming  down 
the  lake. 

The  Messrs.  Rathbun  &  Co.,  and  Mid- 
dlebrook  &  Powell,  two  of  the  most  enter- 
prising lumber  dealing  firms  in  the  city,  have 
built  new  docks  in  the  West  Cove,  in  order 
to  meet  the  increased  demand  tor  dockage. 
Mr.  S.  DoolitMe  has  also  completed  a  new 
dock,  which  extends  from  the  bridge  550  feet 
in  a  northerly  direction,  is  ;^0  feet  wide,  and 
capable  of  holding  2,000,000  feet  of  lumber. 

HilKlttbouse. 

The  lighthouse  is  situated  on  the  West 
pier,  and  is  550  teet  southerly  from  pier-head 
light.  About  20  feet  was  added  to  the 
present  lighthouse  last  year,  and  it  is  now  73 
feet  in  height,  displaying  a  fixed  bbiqht 


fi%jjl3%ttit:' 


IS 

biORT,  and  can  be  seen  at  a  distance  of  20 
milen.  A  pier-head  lantern,  displayed  on  a 
npar,  with  a  fixed  light,  is  placed  on  the 
f-nd  of  the  new  extension  of  the  West  pier, 
to  guide  vewels  clear  of  it.

is  Big  Sodus  Bay,  and  is  one  of  the  best 
harbors  for  refuge  on  the  American  side  of 
Lake  Ontario.  There  are  two  piers,  extend- 
ing North  and  South,  the  West  one  i8l;400

Danger. 

West  of  the  East  pier  at  the  south  end 
there  is  a  shoal,  which  occupies  half  the 
width  of  the  channel,  with  only  3  feet  of 
water  on  it.  Another  shoal  also  runs  off 
from  vjhe  inner  end  of  the  West  pier  about 
200  feet,  which  is  in  a  direct  line  towards 
the  spit,  opposite,  thus  rendering  the  West- 
ern part  of  the  harbor  unnavigable. 

The  range  lights  are  on  the  shore  end  of 
the  West  pier,  the  foremost  bed,  and  the 
rear  one  white,  and  are  visible  about  3 
miles  respectively.  Vessels  coming  in  should 
keep  the  West  pier  close  on  the  starboard 
hand,  continuing  on  to  mid-channel  be- 
tween the  inner  end  of  West  pier  and  the 
sand  spit  opposite,  where  good  anchorage 
can  be  had,  or  go  round  the  end  of  the  point

Alcott  Harbor,  or  18-Mile  Creek,  is  112 
miles  West  of  Oswego,  and  18  miles  East  of 
Niagara  River.  The  entrance  to  this  harbor 
is  bounded  by  two  piers,  extending  North 
and  South,  both  of  which  are  600  feet  long 
and  200  feet  apart.  Their  height  is  6  feet 
above  low  water;  between  piers  is  11  ft.  water, 
and  good  anchorage.  Vessels  going  into  this 
harbor,  drawing  6  feet,  when  the  water  is 
low,  can  pass  through  by  keeping  West  pier 
close  aboard.  It  is  intended  to  extend  these 
piers  300  feet,  then  giving  12  feet  of 
water,  and  to  dredge  th*  channel  and  inner

East  of  the  East  pier,  a  wharf  extends  into 
the  lake  250  feet,  with  a  depth  of  5  feet 
water  at  its  end. 
There  is  no  light  at  this  place. 


WILSON. 


Twelve  miles  East  of  Niagara  River,  and 
120  miles  West  of  Oswego,  is  the  small 
port  of  Wilson.  There  are  two  piers  at 
thiH  place.  The  East  one  is  600  feet  in 
length  from  its  outer  end  to  the  storehouse. 
The  West  pier  is  about  300  ft.  long,  but  is  in 
poor  condition.  Vessels  going  into  Wilson 
must  keep  the  East  pier  close  aboard.  The 
depth  of  water,  from  the  outer  end  of  the 
East  pier  to  the  storehouse,  is  8  feet.  There 
is  a  small  basin  inside,  with  the  same  depth 
of  water.    No  light.

and  affords  very  easy  entrance  for  shelter. 
When  making  this  harbor,  in  the  day  time, 
from  the  lake,  stand  up  until  abreast  of  the 
Red  Store  House,  in  Youngstown,  and 
steer  right  in  mid-channel,  which  clears 
everything. 

On  entering  this  river  at  night,  keep  near 
its  centre,  bringing  Fort  Niagara  to  bear 
S-E  by  8.  When  W.  or  W.  by  S.  of  the 
Fort,  the  shores  become  bold,  and  may  be 
approached  to  within  a  short  distance,  espe- 
cially on  the  East  side. 

When  the  wind  is  from  the  North'ard,  it 
causes  a  rough,  short  chopping  sea  on  the 
bar. 

North-West  of  Fort  Niagara  there  is  a 
shoal,  running  into  the  lake  for  about  one 
mile,  which  has  only  5  to  6  ft.  water  on  it. 
On  the  West  bank,  under  Fort  Mississauga, 
is  another  shoal,  extending  al)out  half  a 
mile  North-East,  and  two  miles  North- 
West  of  the  Fort.

Hamilton  is  at  the  head  of  Lake  Ontario, 
separated  from  the  lake  by  a  long,  low  ridge 


of  sand  and  gravel,  which  stretches  across 
from  the  Northern  to  the  Southern  shore  in 
a  8.  8-E  direction,  forming  a  large  bay, 
and  is  called  Burlington  Bay,  the  entrance 
to  which  is  by  means  of  a  canal,  about  half 
a  mile  long,  with  an  average  width  of  nearly 
200  feet.  The  entrance  to  the  canal,  from 
the  lake,  is  250  feet  in  width.  There  ere 
two  piers,  the  South  one  is  nearly  half  a 
mile  in  length,  and  runs  for  a  considerable 
distance  N-E  i  E,  and  then  N-E  by  N. 
The  North  pier  is  about  300  feet  shorter 
than  the  South  one,  and  also  lays  N-E  i  E. 
When  making  the  canal  at  night,  keep  the 
lights  on  a  rai^e  till  pretty  well  up  to  the 
pier,  then  keep  to  the  N.rthward  of  them, 
about  handspike  width  going  in,  which  will 
take  right  to  mid-channel.  The  course  from 
the  piers  to  the  Great  Western  Railway 
dock  is  W  S-W,  distance  5  miles. 

A  current  runs  in  and  out  of  the  canal 
about  once  every  twenty  minutes,  but  when 
the  wind  is  heavy,  the  current  runs  in  and 
out  every  five  or  ten  minutes.

only  7  feet  of  water  on  it.  A  red  spar  buoy

OAXVXLLI. 

The  Port  of  Oakville,or  Oakrilie  Harbor, 
is  26  miles  8-W.  by  W.  4  W.  of  Toronto, 
and  8  miles  N.  E.  by  N.  of  Burlington  Bay 
Oanal. 

The  piers,  at  Oakville  are  110  feet  apart, 
running  nearly  N-W  and  S-E  in  the  lake, 
into  14  feet  of  water.  Within  there  is  a 
basin,  which,  if  dredged,  would  afford  excel- 
lent shelter  to  a  large  fleet  of  vessels.  As 
it  now  exists,  there  is  but  one  channel,  100 
feet  wide,  with  8  feet  of  water. 

Between  Oakville  and  Port  Credit  there 
are  two  points,  called  Griggs  and  Marigold, 
which  extend  upwardn  of  half  a  mile  into 
the  lake,  and  it  is  not  safe  to  approach 
nearer  than  one  mile.  Between  Points 
Griggs  and  Marigold,  and  the  Burlington 
Bay  Canal,  there  is  another  point,  which  is 
called  Bray's  Point,  and  extends  fully  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile  into  the  lake,  which  idso 
requires  a  wide  berth.

Whitby  harbor  ia  six  milea  to  the  East- 
ward of  Frenchman'^  Bay,  and  30  mileo 
N-E  by  E  of  Toronto.  ThiB  harbor  is  con- 
sidered one  of  the  bet^^  on  the  North  shore 
of  Lake  Ontario.  Standing  as  it  does,  near 
the  centre  of  a  deep  bay,  between  Raby 
Head  on  the  East,  and  Scarboro'  Heights  on 
the  West,  and  of  easy  entrance.  A  strong 
bi-eakwater  forms  the  harbor,  which  stretches 
across  the  head  of  the  bay,  separating  it 
from  the  lake,  enclosing  an  excellent  basin. 
The  entrance  is  at  the  Eastern  extremity, 
between  the  piers  running  South,  a  good 
distf.ace  into  the  lake,  and  are  250  ft.  apart. 
The  water  in  the  channel  is  from  9  to  10  ft. 

If  the  wind  is  blowing  fresh  from  the  8 
S-E  or  S-W  when  coming  into  this  harbor, 
steer  for  the  new  Elevator,  keeping  as 
close  to  it  as  prudence  will  permit.

OSSAWA. 

Six  miles  East  of  Whitby,  is  the  port  of 
Oshawa,  situated  in  the  bend  of  a  small 
bay,  with  only  one  pier,  400  ft.  long,  which 
runs  from  the  main  land  into  the  lake,  with 
10  feet  of  water.  Oshawa  is  well  secured 
from  any  wind,  except  Easterly  or  Soutlerly. 
X>aniBer. 

The  East  point  is  called  Oshawa  Island, 
which  bears  8.  by  E.  from  the  pier,  the 
water  there  is  shallow,  on  account  of  a  large 
reef  of  "  hard-heads,"  which  extends  into  the 
lake  S-E  for  nearly  400  yards.  This  danger 
requires  a  good  berth.

Toronto,  and  26  miles  W.  )  8.  of  Coboui^. 
There  are  two  piers  at  Darlington,  which  run 
N.  and  8.  The  West  pier  is  325  feet  in 
length,  and  extends  50  feet  further  South 
than  the  East  pier,  thereby  breaking  the 
roll  of  the  lake  from  the  South-west.  The 
distance  between  the  piers  is  150  feet ;  the 
depth  of  water  at  the  outer  end  of  the  piers 
is  12  feet.  Vessels  drawing  9  ft.  of  water, 
can  pass  into  the  harbor  and  lay  comforta- 
bly in  the  inner  basin  from  any  wind.  Dar- 
lington is  a  good  place  to  take  with  Wes- 
terly winds  ;  but  when  the  wind  is  Easterly, 
and  vesseli  coming  into  this  harbor,  they 
require  to  keep  up  their  after  canvass,  and 
keep  the  East  pier  close  aboard,  as  the  water 
shoals  along  the  West  pier.  An  East  wind 
causes  a  heavy  sea  at  the  entrance,  but  none 
with  a  Westerly  wind.  The  course  from 
Oswego  to  Darlington  is  W.  N-W.  Dis-

Four  miles  East  of  Newcastle  is  the  Peach

a  good  berth. 

POSTJOFE 

rrbe  Old  Ebu^bor. 

Twenty-three  miles  E.  \  N.  of  Darlington 
is  Port  Hope  Harbor,  which  is  formed  by 
piers  running  parallel.  The  East  pier  has 
been  extended  200  ft.,  which  was  completed 
in  1870.  The  lighthouse  was  removed  to 
the  end  of  the  new  addition,  and  is  about  60 
feet  in  height,  and  shows  a  good,  clear,  bright 
light,  and  on  a  fine  night  can  be  seen  at  a 
distance  of  about  15  miles.  The  depth  of 
water  at  the  mouth  of  the  harbor  is  about 
20  feet,  and  averages  from  10  to  9  feet  be- 
tween the  piers.  After  passing  the  light- 
house, the  anchor  can  be  let  go,  and  the  vessel 
brought  up  with  perfect  safety.  At  night 
the  harbor  is  always  kept  clear  (by  the  Har- 
bor Master's  order)  to  enable  vessels  nu^ng 
this  port  to  have  a  clear  passage.    When 


coming  in,  with  the  wind  Easterly,  always 
keep  up  a  portion  of  the  mainsail,  which 
will  take  the  vessel  in,  dear  of  the  middle 
pier.  Entering  with  the  mainsail  down,  the 
vessel  is  sure  to  fall  off,  and  very  often  strike 
the  middle  pier. 

rriie  M'e-wr  Harlior. 
The  new  harbor  was  completed  in  1870, 
which  consists  of  crib  work  run  into  the  lake 
at  a  distance  of  200  feet,  on  the  West  side 
of  the  middle  pier  belonging  to  the  old  har- 
bor. Near  the  center  of  this  new  pier  a  strip 
projects  out,  which  is  called  the  T.  After

Cobourg  harbor  is  7  miles  East  of  Port 
Hope,  and  is  composed  of  two  basins. 
About  the  middle  of  the  harbor,  a  pier  150 
feet  in  length,  running  East  and  West,  from 
the  East  pier,  resembling  a  T,  divides  the 
harbor  into  two  basins.    Vessels  once  inside

Caution. 

When  coining  into  Cobourg,  especially  at 

night,  Captains  should  take  care  not  to  ap- 
proach too  near  the  South  end  of  the  West 
pier,  as  there  are  a  number  of  broken  piles 
extending  for  a  considerable  distance  further 
into  the  lake  than  the  East  pier. 
X^IflCbtliouae. 

The  lighthouse  of  this  port  is  erected  on 
the  East  pier,  and  is  about  25  feet  high, 
showing  a  bright  light,  which  can  be  seen, 
on  a  clear  night,  8  or  10  miles  off. 
Gull  lalaUd  Shoal. 

Mid- way  between  Cobourg  and  Port  Hope, 

Gull  Island  Shoal  exists.  It  is  two  miles 
in  length  and  one  mile  from  the  shore,  and 
is  often  bare.  To  guide  the  mariner  against 
running  on  this  dangerous  ground,  a  light- 
house is  built  upon  it,  45  feet  high,  showing 
a  FIXED  BRIGHT  LIGHT,  and  ou  a  clear  night 
can  be  seen  from  16  to  20  miles.

SNOSTOK  BABBOE. 

The  above  harbor  is  situated  at  the  head 
of  the  river  navigation  of  the  St.  Lawrence, 
in  a  bay  formed  by  the  headland  dividing 
that  river  from  the  Cataraqui,  and  in  the 
North-Easternmost  angle  of  Lake  Ontario, 
possessing  one  of  the  best  inland  harbors  in 
North  America.  The  approaches  to  the 
anchorage  ground  admit  the  entrance  in 
any  weather  of  vessels  of  much  greater 
draught  than  any  navigating  Lake  Ontario. 
Kingston  Bay  may  be  divided  into  two 
parts,  distinctly  marked — an  outer  and  inner 
bay.     The  latter  is  formed  by  the  mouth 


ffi-r-|iiiitittmirMwpiipppl 


of  the  Catanqni  River,  and  is  Bkeltered  on 
the  North  and  East  hy  the  high  tableland 
extending  from  the  city  along  the  North 
bank  of  the  Cataraqui  to  the  last  canal 
lock  at  Kingston  Mills  ;  on  the  South  it  is 
sheltered  by  the  bold  point  crowned  by  Fort 
Henry,  which  divides  it  from  the  St.  Law- 
rence. On  the  North  and  South  sides  of 
this  point  are  two  small  bays,  the  Northerly 
Bay,  known  as  Haldimand  Cove,having  deep 
water  only  at  its  entrance.  This  cove  or 
bay  is  separated  from  Kingston  Harbor  by 
a  low  point,  called  Point  Frederick,  at  the 
extremity  of  which  are  earthworks  encircling 
a  martello  tower.  There  is  shoal  water  on 
this  point,  extending  towanU  the  inner  bay 
or  harbor  proper,  but  the  channel  between 
it  and  the  shoal  at  the  tower,  directly  oppo- 
site the  city  buildings,  is  deep  enough  for 
any  lake-going  vessel,  and  is  marked  by  two 
buoys  on  either  side.  The  Westerly  ex- 
tremity of  the  inner  bay  is  put  down  on  old 
maps  as  Missisquoi  Point,  now  the  Marine 
Bailway  Ship  Yard.

Island,  thence  across  to  the  ship  yard,  and 
along  the  Westerly  extension  of  the  city  to 
the  month  of  the  Bay  of  Quinte.  The 
anchorage  ground  in  the  outer  bay  extends 
from  opposite  the  ship  yard  to  a  point  op* 
posite  Morton's  distillery,  about  300  yards 
from  the  shore  throughout.  Under  the  lee 
of  Four  Mile  Point  is  a  favorite  shelter  for 
lake-bound  vessels  during  South-Westerly 
winds. 

The  inner  bay,  to  an  observer,  presents 
evidence  of  injury  done  to  its  navigable 
facilities  by  the  military  works  in  and 
around  Kingston.  Below  the  Cataraqui 
Bridge  extends  an  anchorage  ground,  esti- 
mated at  250  acres,  now  wholly  useless  from 
the  intervention  of  the  bridge.  The  Eocky 
Shoal  opposite  the  market  buildings  might

and  Lake  Ontario  would  thus  have  been 
wanting.  A  canal,  or  cut,  extending  from 
the  termination  of  Haldimand  Cove  to 
McRossie's  mill  at  Green  Bay  could  be 
eamly  made,  and  would  afford  any  extent  of 
berths  for  vessels,  as  well  as  an  additional 
entrance  to  the  harbor.  A  cut  through  the 
rock  on  the  East  side  of  the  earthworks  at 
Point  Frederick,  would  also  give  additional 
berths. 

In  fact,  the  capacities  of  the  harbor  could 
be  enlarged  to  an  almost  indefinite  extent. 
At  present,  great  as  they  are,  the  harbor  is 
straggling.  If  the  cut  from  Haldimand  Cove 
to  Green  Bay  were  made,  stone  to  an  unlim- 
ited extent,  for  ballast,could  be  run  into  the 
hold  of  a  vessel  from  the  hills  above.  If  the 
bridge  and  shoal  tower  were  removed,  ves- 
sels could  be  placed  alongside  the  Grand 
Trunk  Railway  track  at  various  points,  for 
receiving  or  dischaiging  cargo.  The  -lake

Mr.  John  Power  has  every  facility  for  haul-

The  general  business  of  the  city  has  suf-

Kingston  has  some  sights  and  scenes 
worth  the  visit  of  the  passing  traveller.  The 
Penitentiary,  Bockwood  Lunatic  Asylum, 
and  the  Fort,  will  all  repay  a  visit.  The 
view  from  the  fort  is  one  of  the  finest  in  the

Batteau  Cliannel. 

The  Battoau  Channel  is  between  Wolfe 
or  Long  Island,  and  Simcoe  or  Gage  Island  : 
this  course  is  chiefly  used  by  small  craft, 
having  in  several  places  little  more  than  two 
fathoms  of  water. 

The  South  Channel  is  between  Simcoe  or 
Gt^  Island  and  Snake  Island.  In  this 
channel  there  are  five  fathoms  of  water. 

The  North  Channel,  which  is  the  best, 
runs  between  Snake  Island  and  the  Main 
Land;  and  although  it  increases  the  distance 
little,  is  by  far  the  safest,  averaging  seven 
fathoms  of  water.

When  making  Kingston  Harbor  from  the 
Western  ports,  steer  for  the  Mid-Channel 
between  the  Real  and  the  False  Ducks ; 
then  alter  the  course  to  N-E.  by  N.  \  N., 
which  takes  the  vessel  through  the  South 
Channel  direct  to  Kingston  Harbor. 

When  the  wind  is  ahead,  make  this

Henderson  Harbor  is  formed  by  Six  Town 
Point,  and  is  8  miles  to  the  Westward  of 
Sackets  Harbor.  It  is  a  large,  open  Bay, 
and  contains  good  anchorage.  When  going 
into  Henderson,  beware  of  the  shoal  which 
lies  to  the  Westward  of  the  little  Duck 
Island,  giving  Six  Town  Point  an  easy 
berth.    No  light. 


OEAUICONT  BA7. 


This  bay  is  situated  at  the  foot  of  Lake 
Ontario,  and  formed  by  Point  Peninsula  on 
the  West,  Pillar  Point  on  the  East,  Three 
Mile  Bay  on  the  North,  and  Chaumont  on 
the  North  and  East,  which  makes  it  a  cap- 
ital harbor  for  shelter.  Good  anchorage  can 
be  had  in  any  part  of  the  bay,  with  from  5 
to  8  fathoms  of  water. 

Anchorage  can  also  be  had  opposite  Point 
Peninsula,  about  21  miles  from  the  outer 
end  of  the  Point,  opposite  Wilcox  village.

POST  OF  TOBONTO. 


This  spacious  anchorage  is  without  doubt 
the  best  natural  harbor  on  Lake  Ontario, — 
It  is  nearly  circular,  being  formed  by  the 
main  land  on  the  north,  and  by  a  long,  low, 
and  narrow  spit  of  sand,  on  the  east,  south, 
and  south-west,  called  the  Peninsular  or 
Island  ;  it  extends  in  a  south-westerly  di- 
rection from  the  highlands  in  the  township 
of  Scarboro',  and  terminates  in  a  point  which 
suddenly  turns  to  the  north  opposite  the 
Old  Garrison,  thus  is  enclosed  a  beautiful 
basin,  of  about  two  and  a  half  miles  in 
diameter,  capable  of  containing  a  great  num- 
ber of  vessels. 

In  running  up  the  Lake  from  the  east- 
ward at  night,  give  the  shore  a  good  two- 
mile  berth  when  abreast  of  the  Scarboro* 
heights,  otherwise  t.  light  on  Gibraltar 
Point  will  be  imperceptible. 

Vessels  running  for  shelter  from  an  east- 
erly gale  should  anchor  on  the  W.  side  of 
the  Island  about  one  mile  from  shore,  where

A  sandy  shoal  stretches  into  the  Lake  for 
three-quarters  of  a  mile  in  a  S- W  direction 
off  Gibraltar  Point,  and  is  thence  continued 
along  the  W.  side  of  the  Island  extending 
N.  to  the  Bar  Buoys  which  mark  the  chan-

a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  Island.

when  the  water  deepens  as  you  get  in. 

The  red  buoy,  at  the  entrance  of  the  West

is  only  6i  feet  of  water  in  mid-channel,  in 
the  shallowest  part.  If  any  of  the  buoys 
should  be  displaced,  the  marks  for  the  chan-

Moira  have  averaged  front  150,000  to  200,- 
000  a  year.  Th«^  greater  part  are  manufac-

Water  Street,  and  that  of  Messrs.  H.  B. 
Rathbun  &  Bon,  on  the  island  at  the  mouth 
of  the  river.  The  capacity  of  both  is  alraut 
e(}ual.  In  each  there  are  from  90  to  100 
saws,  chiefly  in  gangs,  capable  of  manufac- 
turing from  75,000  to  100,000  feet  of  lum- 
ber every  24  hours. 

Another  mill  on  the  South  line  of  the 
bay,  is  owned  by  Messrs.  Page  &  Co.  It 
was  erected  in  1864,  and  its  capacity  has 
since  been  largely  increased.  It  manufac- 
tures about  50,000  feet  per  day.
